Impulse buy iPod Touch, anyone?
Spare few hundred dollars burning a whole in your pocket? Want an iPod Touch or another similar gizmo? Noise-canceling headphones, maybe? Good news. They’re all available, right-away, from this very cool vending machine. A very handy service if you’ve forgotten your iPod charging cable or if you want an extra memory card for your camera.
There are no phones for sale in this particular machine — the closest is the Touch. I wonder how successful these machines are. Quite a few people were staring at it as I found it but across an hour I didn’t see anyone make a purchase. I like the idea though.
I wonder how long one of these would last in Manchester?

Posted by Ewan on April 6th, 2008 at 4:19 pm.So, did you get me one then?
Posted by Patrick on April 6th, 2008 at 6:27 pm.For someone who is getting ready for a, say, 11-hour flight to Europe and has already checked in all his stuff, this machine might be a blessing.
Besides, unlike with sodas, here the prices are higher, so it’s easier to break even
